Planter Update, Ooops and um... Earl...

By the time July comes around the garden usually takes off and begins to provide goodies. My planter is doing well and I've picked a couple little tomatoes and a cucumber so far! There are also a couple jalapenos (at the bottom) and the pole beans are blooming. I've really enjoyed this little planter this year, it's so easy to keep watered with nothing more than a bucket and there have been very few weeds.

Little treats are hiding places...

And things are coloring up nicely...

As for the Oooops, imagine my shock and horror in waking up to find this...

My tomato plant fell over!

Note to self: Even if you buy patio or container plants always stake them and tie them up!

As we're headed into the 4th of July Weekend there's the possibility of some heavy rain here on the east coast. Earl decided he wasn't having any of it, packed up his Speedo and headed west...
We hope you've found a fun way to relax too!

Lynn, I am in love with your plants! WOW! So pretty. I have a small container going with one tomato plant and 3 herbs. It is coming along great but I want it to look like yours now! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Earl is too cool in his pool! You have more bounty in that one pot than I have in my whole garden! The rabbits keep eating the squash blossoms and something else is eating the herbs, we do have a couple of lonely peppers and some green tomatoes :)Jenna

Your planter garden is amazing, Lynn!! I see that forktress in the first picture, lol. :-D It's great to see all those pretty little tomatoes on the vine. Gosh, I'm sorry your plant fell over; did you stake it up afterwards? Are those yellow blossoms summer squash? They're one of my very favorites. :)

Earl, you are the man! As our son would say, "Earl is chillaxing." :-D Love that picture, Lynn!! I hope you have a Happy Fourth and a great weekend, my friend!

What a bounty you have in your pot Lynn! We're having storms tonight and then Arthur is unfortunately moving your way Friday, Earl has the right idea! Hope you enjoy some sunshine for the rest of your holiday weekend :) Happy 4th!

Wonderful container gardening. I'm gonna try it next summer. We had rain yesterday, none predicted today, family coming this afternoon for cookout, swimming and fireworks tonight.Happy 4th and I wonder if Earl knows how to swim..?? I've heard of the doggie stroke...never heard of a pig stroke, tho. :)
